    Default wade & butcher

    You're not providing much info to assist with so I'll guess.

    Mark the existing bevel with a marker and adjust your honing stroke to be sure you are honing the complete edge. Use a 1k hone till it pops arm hairs. Don't move to a finer hone until then. You may need to rock the blade on the hone to get the whole edge. Be sure you are not creating secondary bevels.
